American Flag Cookie

I made this giant sugar cookie last year for the Fourth of July, and I knew I had to bring it back again this year! It's not too difficult, it makes a beautiful patriotic statement, and the cream cheese frosting puts it over the top! You. Will. Love. It.

Ingredients:

2 sticks + 1 stick butter, softened

1/3 cup sugar

1 cup + 3 cups powdered sugar

1 egg

1/2 tsp vanilla extract + 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp almond extract

2 1/2 cups flour

2 1/2 tsp baking soda

2 1/2 tsp cream of tartar

8 ounce package cream cheese

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Cream two sticks of butter with 1/3 cup sugar until fluffy. Then add 1 cup of powdered sugar.
